Happy to go with general consensus as to where we could meet ...

They don't need full balls so if you have any lying around and would like to

wool scarf, a
grey cable wool hat, a bluey-greeny-aqua wool jumper dress and a 4-ply green
cotton
cardigan!)... the next one (if we can bear to wait SOOO long is Monday 31 March!
That is a
long wait so if you want to meet up on say Mon 17 as well I'd be happy to do
that too!

Festival Hall this
Weds 27 Feb ...

Back in one piece, but have not been home yet. Hope to make it later,
but it depends on state of house and whether I will feel very
strongly about having to catch up on some sleep. The latter obviously
not having been the main focus of the weekend...

I've been arguing with my camera but did manage to get some pictures
that look half decent. Only to find out that once I'd added them I
could not delete them (the last one) or change their name (the second
one)..... Over to you Julie...

Spoilt for choice now!

Does anyone have any idea where to get eyes and a nose suitable for a
sheep? I've been to John Lewis, but they only do the amber eyes and
dogs noses.
Ebay gives me an option, but they come as 50 pairs which seems a bit
much given that I only want 1 pair....

Our next date! ... And if everyone is happy to, shall we meet in the Leather
Exchange again
from 7.30?

And I've started the photo section too (not Flickr, though that is underway) we
can upload
pics here ... see photos in the sidebar ... and upload away!

Thanks for coming along
Julie x

Great to meet you all, and looking forward to the next one. I will take
a picture of the booties once they are finished (since I know have a
reasonable chance of actually finishing them!)

Checked the label and the yarn I am using is indeed 100% cotton

For those who are interested, the pattern for the booties can be found
here: http://members.home.nl/tdpj/Patronen/Bootees/Saartjes%
